Providing #HumanitarianAid and defending human rights must never be criminalized, but it is treated this way by Polish authorities.
Refugees at the #Belarus border are treated differently than Ukrainians. Why? Just because they're not white Europeans?

here's a video in English where activists from #GrupaGranica talk about their work, racism, disparities and the lack of support

Every week, about 100-150 people crossing the border turn to #GrupaGranica for help. They bring each of them a hot meal and tea, and dry clothes. Medicines, sleeping bags and power banks are also often needed. Since the beginning of the humanitarian crisis, they have provided humanitarian aid to over 13,500 people.
They also provide legal support. You can help here:

It's another winter, another Christmas at the #Poland-#Belarus border. People trapped there are suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, hypothermia, frostbite and worse, some are being sexually abused by border guards.
#GrupaGranica is Polish organization leading a grassroots effort uniting 14 NGOs in conducting life-saving work at the border, documenting human rights violations, and providing legal and social services to #refugees.
